it's not just about how much you enjoyed it, i think
good movies seem to hold a microcosm in them because they're larger than life. and the complexities it encapsulates are so present that i don't have to think about them separately
the bad movies just fragments into 'plot' and 'sentimental templates' and 'logic' and 'values' and all of that stuff because it doesn't add up and it runs on cliches that aren't automated in my head
so it strains my mind trying to pretend it's acceptable
but the people who do make it work, im glad they're around somewhere in the world or i'd be a lot more obnoxious

good movies usually have their own universe going on which is different enough to our own that it becomes interesting instead of boring

it cant be different because its the idea that counts and the ideas, well they float around

I never said I didn't like you
I agree about the movie thing though, it's so easy to differentiate between a great movie and a bad movie. I can only think of a handful of movies that got it perfect though.

Nah i've watched tons, I enjoy loads of movies immensely but there are only a handful that I could watch time and time again because they just got everything right. If you think otherwise then opinion counts for a certain amount but I would more lean towards the feeling that your standards are a lot lower than mine.

The same basis on which you assumed that I hadn't watched enough movies. Way to get butthurt fast considering I wasn't insulting you.

I assumed you hadn't watched the right ones, actually. I'm not butthurt, you're just wrong.
Hahahaha wow, that sure is one mature stance to take. I'll stop conversing with you now lest you go for another classic such as "lalalalala I can't hear you".
